Telco geodata

Next-gen geodata for next-gen wireless networks

Geodata for the future

The telecommunication industry's fifth-generation network (5G) will rely on high frequency spectrum to deliver increased speeds and network capacity, a signal so sensitive it can be blocked by the palm of your hand. That makes things a lot more complicated. How do you design or optimize for 5G when obstructions are so influential on your signal propagation? With advanced geodata derived from the most current, high-resolution satellite imagery available.

Why is good geodata so critical
for 5G planning?

Straight from the source

DigitalGlobe is the leader in high-resolution satellite imagery and geospatial solutions. Our ecosystem of partners and advanced technologies empowers innovation across industries. Many geodata vendors use DigitalGlobe imagery to build their products, but working directly with the source offers model flexibility and global availability.

“We used to rely on lower quality clutter data in the New York area. With this data, 60% of
all our planned links failed when they were checked by our surveyors. Now, thanks to the
accurate and complete representation of building and foliage in the Vricon 3D data provided
by DigitalGlobe, we are able to confidently reject blocked links and pick the clear links, all
within our virtual desk plan. Thanks to this high-quality clutter height data, we have seen a
98% decrease in false positives.”
